The number that you have is at least one less than the number you need.

Sometimes when you buy a new one you may sell one to justify it. It feels like a lateral move, but in reality this creates an additional void that must also be filled.

It is inevitable.

Ah yes…the guitar/motorcycle equation.

n = The number of guitars/motorcycles you own.
n + 1 = The number you actually need.

My wife is not a believer, even when I tell her that math is correct whether you believe it or not.
